"We chose flame bluestone (the hardest of the three main types of bluestone) for the treads and top landing, with fieldstone veneer for the sides.
They did the job on a very hot and humid Saturday. It was amazing, the project, from beginning to end. And I never saw so many men work so hard and without break, except for a brief lunch in the shade. These guys are serious craftsmen and professionals.
The Mason Works crew, led by Bruno, did a beautiful job transforming my old painted concrete stoop to the new focus of my home's front. The flame bluestone, as it turns out, matches the gray-blue trim, and helps pull together not only color but architectural elements of my home's exterior. Really, the work is stunning.
This past week, they returned to acid wash the stonework (included in the price). It looks fantastic.
I had ongoing questions before and after the job, and Jeff and Bruno were quick to respond.
I highly recommend Mason Works!"

"Duran removed my old gas fireplace, ran a new 6-inch insulated liner down the chimney, (which was not easy, the flue needed to be opened up a bit in certain spots). He rebuilt and repointed my upper chimney, waterproofed it, and installed an amazing new wood burning fireplace, that we are loving! He came out to the house, estimated the job for free. His price was thousands less than the competitors (others charged $250 just to come out and estimate) Duran was professional, honest, clean, hardworking and affordable. If you're getting chimney work done, you are crazy if you don't call this guy. I highly recommend. R"

"Jim did a great job - very happy with the new firebox, and he was on time, quick and on price. I'd be glad to hire him again. I'm really enjoying being able to use my fireplace now. In addition, Jim came back a few days later, after we'd already paid him, to acid wash the new brick and mortar, since that was a cleanup you couldn't do until the work had dried."

"It went extremely well. Jim was wonderful to work with, he was professional, respectful, neat and just a pleasure to deal with. This was a hard spring for contractors with all the rain and Jim did an awesome job of keeping us informed as to when he would be available to start the job. Once here he went above an beyond doing an exceptional job on our chimney. We need some work done on our front steps and Celtic Masonry will be the one doing it for us. Would not hesitate to give him an outstanding recommendation."

"We had our chimney capped. The guys from 5-Star showed up on time, their quote was competitive (and very fair), and they were ready to do the work the same day, which they did. They did a couple of extras for us and cleaned everything up before they left. Damon sat down with us to show us pictures of what we needed done and then pictures of what it looks like now. Great Customer Service! One day - Done! And the best part: lifetime warranty on the cap! Highly recommend 5 Star Chimney Service!!"

Start with a professional inspection. If damage is limited to a few bricks or the crown, a targeted repair helps keep costs and disruption to a minimum. Severe leaning, widespread mortar failure, or major fire damage usually signals it’s time for a complete teardown and rebuild. Your contractor will outline both price tags, but remember that rebuilding a failing stack is often cheaper than repeated patch jobs and the water leaks or fire hazards they allow.
Cracks provide water with an easy path into the masonry, weakening the bricks and mortar and increasing the risk of collapse or fire. Gaps can also let hot gases and sparks escape into attic spaces. Call a chimney pro as soon as you see cracking so they can seal small joints or recommend a larger rebuild before minor damage turns into a costly emergency.
Smoke rolling back into the room often indicates a blocked flue, a broken damper, or a drafting issue. Have a sweep inspect the damper, flue liner, and any obstructions right away. Most fixes involve clearing debris, repairing the liner, or adjusting the damper so the fireplace pulls air correctly. Don’t light another fire until a professional pinpoints the cause and confirms your system is venting safely.
Most policies cover chimney repairs caused by a sudden, covered event, such as lightning, a fallen tree, or a house fire. They won’t cover damage that stems from neglected maintenance or everyday wear. Review your policy or contact your agent before scheduling work to determine what documentation your insurer requires and what costs you will be responsible for.
Component life spans vary. Clay tile or cast-in-place liners last close to 50 years, while stainless-steel liners last 15 to 20 years. Mortar requires attention every 25 to 30 years, while crowns last 50 to 75 years. Use these numbers as a maintenance roadmap: schedule regular inspections, budget for future upgrades, and replace parts before age-related cracks develop into more significant problems.
